Tough questions

Lex has started asking some pretty funny, sometimes tough, questions lately. Questions like, “What would happen if our faces were flat?” or “What would happen if there was a very big giraffe in our house” or “What would happen if this roll of toilet paper was sooooooo big it couldn’t even fit in the house.” Sometimes we get into good discussions and other times (when I’m tired) I end up just saying, “I don’t know Lex, what?” and then he moves on to different topic. The other day he asked “What would happen if Eve died?” Whoah!! Not what I was expecting but it did initiate our first (ever, I think) discussion about death. Yuck! Tonight’s question was “What would happen if our world was sideways?” It’s funny because you can answer these questions so many different ways, depending on how you choose to look at it. I chose to give him a demonstration on how the Earth (a plastic pumpkin on the table) rotates around the sun (a candle). He was impressed. Then I showed him that the Earth IS sideways (well, a little crooked anyway) and he was amazed! :)
